Types of Bridging Loans — Which One Is Right for You?

Not all bridging loans are created equal. The wrong type could cost you thousands — or worse, leave you exposed. Here's what you need to know.

🔒 Closed Bridging Loans

You have a guaranteed exit — a confirmed sale date or definite refinance. Because the risk is lower, so are the rates. This is the gold standard if you qualify.

  • Lowest interest rates available
  • Confirmed exit date required
  • Ideal for chain break with exchanged contracts
  • Typically 1–12 months

🔓 Open Bridging Loans

No fixed repayment date — you know how you'll repay, just not exactly when. More expensive, but the flexibility can be worth its weight in gold when timing is uncertain.

  • Maximum flexibility on timing
  • Higher rates reflect lender risk
  • Up to 12–18 month terms
  • Ideal for planning/sale uncertainty

🛡️ Regulated Bridging Loans

For your home or future home. FCA-regulated with full consumer protection — including a cooling-off period. If you're bridging for your own residence, this is what you need.

  • FCA consumer protection
  • Affordability assessment required
  • Cancellation rights included
  • For residential owner-occupier use

🏢 Unregulated Bridging Loans

For investment, BTL, and commercial properties. No FCA regulation — but more flexible criteria and faster decisions. The go-to for savvy investors.

  • Investment & commercial properties
  • Faster, more flexible process
  • Focus on security & exit strategy
  • No affordability assessment needed

First Charge Bridging

Primary loan secured against a property with no existing mortgage. Lower rates, simpler structure.

Second Charge Bridging

Additional borrowing on a property with an existing mortgage. Keep your current deal in place.

Refurbishment Bridging

Light or heavy refurb funding. Purchase and renovate, then refinance or sell at the improved value.

Auction Bridging

Pre-agreed funding so you can bid with confidence. Meet the 28-day completion deadline.

Commercial Bridging

Offices, retail, industrial, mixed-use — specialist commercial bridging with flexible terms.

Cross-Charge Bridging

Use equity in one property to fund the purchase of another. Unlock trapped equity quickly.

What Does Bridging Finance Actually Cost?

Let's be honest — bridging isn't cheap. But when you understand the real numbers, you'll see why it's often the smartest move.

Typical Costs

  • Monthly interest: 0.4% – 1.5% (depending on LTV & risk)
  • Arrangement fee: 1–2% of the loan amount
  • Valuation: £500 – £2,000
  • Legal fees: £1,500 – £3,000 (yours + lender's)
  • Exit fee: 0–1% (not all lenders charge this)

Example: £200k for 6 Months

  • Interest (0.75%/month): £9,000
  • Arrangement fee (2%): £4,000
  • Legal & valuation: ~£3,000
  • Total cost: approximately £16,000

That's the cost of keeping your dream purchase alive. For many, it's the best £16k they ever spent.

Important: Bridging finance costs significantly more than standard mortgages and is only suitable for short-term needs. You must have a clear, credible exit strategy. Your property may be repossessed if you don't repay the loan.
